Pros

Flexibility, if your boss like you & if you are yes man then you will get more chance to do different things and promotion

Cons

Very top down, HR system is still not ready yet for nurturing good employee culture. no proper promotion/career progress plan is ready. When you work, you will be required to do many different things eventually. management ask growth and chase about it but they are reluctant to hire more people in team. So each people has so many tasks/responsibilities out of the scope that they started with. Also, for manager or upper level role, they only hire INSEAD MBA graduates or ppl with consulting background. Shopee does not respect person who worked from ground who knows e-commerce and has related experience. They prefer people from MBA and consulting with no e-commerce or related field experience and let them manage team. You need to be lucky to meet nice boss, otherwise some bosses are cruel to their team. (Chasing you even on weekends or when you are on leave) : these explain high turnover rate of Shopee.
